About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

Wild by Ashley Bostock

Wild

A Love in Lone Star Novel by Ashley Bostock Publication Date: May 2, 2017 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Read for FREE in KindleUnlimited: Amazon
Ever since my divorce became final, I decided to start putting myself first. The problem is when I think of putting myself first, I think of my son’s biological father, Thatcher Patterson. The man that wanted nothing to do with me when he found out I was pregnant. When he left me, he took my heart with him and I’ve never gotten it back. Suddenly my son and I are forced to live with Thatcher indefinitely and it’s difficult to remember all the reasons why I don’t trust him. The way he looks at me, the way he is with our son and the way he makes me feel are all the reasons I’m running toward him instead of away from him. But if I run toward him, how long will it take for him to up and run the other way from us, much like he did before? ~~ I’ve never stopped loving Abigail Murphy or wishing I could be the perfect dad to my son. So, when a stipulation in my late grandfather’s will states that I must have an heir to claim my inheritance, it’s the push I need to get them in my life. Because I need them as much as I need that money. With my business in the red, I have no other option. As the deadline creeps closer, I never counted on the guilt I would feel at trying to get a two for one deal. When the two of them move in with me, I’m reminded of all the wonderful things this woman has to offer and all the emotions she makes me feel. She makes me feel worthy. Wanted. Loved. She makes me feel like I could be the man she needs and just maybe I could be the father my son deserves – the father I’ve been so afraid to be.

About Ashley Bostock

 
 Ashley Bostock was born and raised in Colorado where she currently resides with her husband, two children and her animals.

My Review:

This is the first book I have read by Ashley Bostock.  I wasn't sure what to expect going in.  While I like the romance genre, I need some kind of angst or drama.

However, by chapter 3 I knew this book was going to be no problem to enjoy.  After getting a feel for Thatcher, Abigail, and Thayer, I was in love and needed to see how their story played out.  Ashley Bostock does a perfect job of making you feel right in the middle of each of the characters.  There was enough head-butting to make the characters feel like real people.  The situations they were put into were challenging, but again, real.  I really like a book that feels like it could be taken out of a persons real-life, especially in the romance genre.  I am looking forward to reading more of Ashley Bostock's work, it rekindled my own love of romance.  

I am giving Wild by Ashley Bostock 4 stars.  One thing I would have liked to see more of would have been between Abigail and Adrian.  I felt that he should have at least reappeared sometime before the end of the book, but that's just my opinion.  I also felt that a little more time could have been spent on Thatcher and his father's relationship.  This would have helped build Thatcher's case for being concerned for Thayer.  Overall, I really liked Wild and would recommend it.
